Run! Gravity Guy 2 is now exclusively available for Windows Phone 8

Gravity Guy came out just over a year ago to Windows Phone and has become one of the more popular “runner” games around. It’s done by Miniclip, who ranks up there with Chillingo in terms of quality of their games.

Gravity Guy 2 is now ready for your trial and goes for $2.99 (Windows Phone 8 only). We’ve been playing with it for a little while, and one thing we already like: it’s not more of the same. In GG2, things like double jumps, platform raising, new tighter graphics and a new coin-collection strategy have been added. Indeed it feels like similar game play to Jetpack Joyride (also due soon on Windows Phone 8).

The music is good, the high resolution graphics look great on our high-end hardware and like the previous game, there’s an addictive challenging aspect that we love. Whether or not the re-playability and difficulty will be hindrances remains to be seen and we’ll save that for our review.

Of course another reason to get excited is the exclusivity part. As we informed you yesterday, this game is a “first” on Windows Phone 8 with the iPhone and Android versions due at a later date. For that, we think Miniclip and GG2 deserve at least a trial, no?

Pick up Gravity Guy 2 for Windows Phone 8 here in the Store for $2.99 (free trial). Shout out in comments on your thoughts of the game.

Okay this game is mad fun. Not at ALL like Gravity Guy 1, it's like a whole new game. I don't even know why they are calling it Gravity Guy if you can't change gravity anymore. But hey, much more forgiving play experience and basically a sister to Jetpack Joyride. :)

Should've know better not to get the Lumia 900 last year, I'm so pissed off every time I see these w8 games. I know, fork over the dough for a new phone, but by then they will announce games are only for wp9. Yes you can hear the bitterness in my voice.

Don't confuse switching from the CE to NT Kernel aka "reboot" of the platform with a simple OS upgrade e.g. Windows Phone 9. Sure, "WP9" or most likely Windows Phone Blue may add things like higher resolution support, but there's a very good reason why WP8 games can't run on WP7 hardware--it's the native gaming engines, that's it.

There won't be another reboot of the OS for years as the NT kernel is very flexible and can scale appropriately. Now, there is always the issue of chasing the latest and greatest hardware, for which there is no solution except to have some money on the side and to not complain about the rapid pace of mobile development ;)

Game is fun so far, much like jet pack joyride with minigoals to get each run while picking up coins along the way. Being able to jump/double jump and move platforms allows for a lot more room for surviving longer than in JPJ.

A WP exclusive game that in the description (in WP store) when you go to buy it,it's written "★ Amazing retina graphics".
Miniclip can't wait to release that on iphone.And Microsoft doesn't even check what developers are writting on the description.The condition is simply PATHETIC!
